ASSEMBLY TAKES UP
QUESTION OF INCREASE
IN SUGGESTION AWARDS
Discusses Improper Dancing
at Goodyear Hall
In a lively meeting punctiated by
speeches, arguments, introductions and
discussion of new bills, members of the
Industrial Assembly, Tuesday night, ap-pointed
representatives on the Sugges-tion
Committee. Heretofore the com-mittee
has been composed of members -
of the management only. At the last
joint conference the management in-vited
the House and Senate each to ap-point
a member. The Assembly also
approved a bill and forwarded same to
management favoring Hospital Passes'
for Goodyearitu sick or injured off
duty,-and made other new plans
The Assemblymen are in favor of a
revision of the Suggestion Awards plan
with particular refgence to the larger
awards which provides that money be
paid winners in installments, instead cf
in a lump sum..
The Assemblymen went on record as
against improper dancing either in
Goodyear Hall or other neighborhood
places. It was suggested.nt the meet-ing
Assemblymen 5et in closer touch
with the men of their precincts in order
that the Assembly may learn what the
men favor or do not favor in proposed
legislation.
The Senate approved the Horise bill
to allow Goodyear men and women
taken sick or injured of duty to remain
an employee of the company. The bill
would entitle all such to a hospital pass
and would SDVe the workman the in-convenience
of w' hiring over." The
bill is now up for action by the Joint
Council of six Goodyear officials and
Assemb]ymen.
• • The most promising item to men-tion
in connection with Mondav's meet-ing,"
said one of the House members
afterward. 6 6 wps the increase in the
amount of talking by the 'different
members. Heretofore too few of the
members have discussed .business and
taken the action. With everyone hav-ing
something to say on matters before
the body, there will be less chrnce for
railroading through cettmin bilig that
may be of bene•t to special interests or
departments."
